Gföhl was first mentioned in documents around 1180 and looks back on a long history as a market town and centre of the Waldviertel. The most important milestones Antiquity and settlement: Prehistoric finds (like from the Bronze Age) prove early traces of humans on the Gföhl plateau. Before German settlement from the 12th century onwards, there was a Slavic presence. First mention (1180): The place name is presumably derived from a topographical depression in the ground. Elevation to market town (1314/1493): In 1314, Gföhl is mentioned as a market town. In 1493, Emperor Frederick III granted the town official market rights and a coat of arms. War hardship and crises: In 1426, the Hussites destroyed the town and church. The population also suffered severely during the Peasants' War (1595) and the Thirty Years' War (1645), as well as from the plague (1679/1681).

The roof cross with a decorated sheet metal cover bears the inscription on the back: "Dedicated by Fr. Schmied, gravedigger of Gföhl. a. 11/4 1936. Painted by Jos. Götsch from Gföhl. 1936". This cross was originally located on a chestnut tree directly in front of the Enzinger house. Since 1996, the faithful have met here for the blessing of the palms, before proceeding via Seiler- and Kreuzgasse into the church for mass.

Once upon a time, this artificial reservoir was an extremely popular bathing paradise. People traveled from afar to bathe in "Kronsegg". Romantic solstice celebrations and even "hot" motorsport events on the ice are now only remembered by a few. After the last dam renovation, the reservoir could be refilled starting in 2002. The flood in August 2002 already forced the dam to pass its first test.
